Sheriff ’s Office nets 16 meth arrests By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com With 16 arrests, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office has made yet another landmark meth bust, the department announced. The arrests stem from ongoing investigations of methamphetamine labs found in Tipton County and resulted from the execution of a search warrant

on Patricia Lane in the Millington part of Tipton County. “Investigators recovered meth, components of a meth lab and a firearm where the serial number had been altered,” said spokesperson Deputy Chief Donna Turner. “Deputies and investigators then began to serve warrants across the county.” Arrested in the sweep were: • Michael Garrett Kaneer, 35, of 218

Patricia Lane in Millington– charged with Promoting the Manufacturing of Methamphetamine (Meth), Possession of Schedule II and Alteration of Firearm Serial Number • Emily Mae Dickey, 36, of 235 South High Street in Covington– charged with Possession of a Legend Drug, Possession of Schedule II and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia • Derek Mason Ralph, 34, of 1796

Walk-N-Roll set for Saturday By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com If anyone needs to take advantage of the summer sun the organizers of this weekend’s WalkN-Rollathon would be more that glad to have the company. The Walk-N-Rollathon will be on Saturday, May 29, at Munford City Park. The sign-in will begin at 10 a.m. There participants will be walking to raise money and public awareness for Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV). All proceeds will be given to the Bendan B. McGinnis Congenital CMV Foundation to help with public outreach and awareness and vaccine research. This organization can be reached at its website www. cmvfoundation.org for more information. The main organizer for the event is Annette Estes, who’s grandson, nine-year-old Cody Calkins, is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a form of CMV. Calkins is fully dear, does not speak and according to doctors, will never walk. He is currently in the third grade at Munford Elementary School.

Estes encourages anyone to come out including people with disabilities to come out and take part in the marathon since they have had several people in wheelchairs in event’s past. According to the website on the disease, congenital CMV is the most common cause of birth defects and childhood disabilities of the U.S since every year around 40,000 children are born with an infection from it. It is the second leading cause of mental retardation, behind only Down Syndrome. Possible outcomes for a baby born with CMV are death, deafness, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizures, blindness, brain damage, growth problems and more. CMV is spread through contact with human bodily fluids, such as urine and saliva and it only takes brief contact with a contaminated surface to acquire the infection. The virus is spread to a baby when it is still in the womb of the mother. Originally the virus is asymptomatic and usually contacted when people are children. The virus is essentially harmless when it is contacted as a child or an adult

he legendary Treasure Hunters Roadshow is in Covington from May 25 - 29 for a chance for people from Tipton County to bring in their antique items to exchange for cash. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is on a worldwide treasure hunt and is digging around the town for five days attempting to see value in many people’s belongings that have long been gathering dust. During this free event, they are expecting to see over 1,200 residents bring in their rare and unusual collectables and locals will have a chance to speak with world-renowned antique and collectable experts. It does not cost anything to bring in items to be reviewed. Recent items they have found have been a 1960s vintage guitar, which they purchased for $100,000. Confederate money hidden in the walls of a residence that was uncovered during a remodel, Abraham Lincoln hand-written thank you letter, expressing gratitude for a night’s stay while traveling to Chicago and much more. Specifically in Covington, the hunters are hoping to see items such as coins and paper currency issued prior to 1965, toys, dolls, trains, vintage jewelry, old and modern musical instruments, war memorabilia, gold and silver jewelry, advertising memorabilia, swords, knives and other antiques. Collectors will be on hand to look over each item SEE ANTIQUES, PAGE A3

Munford student to participate in People to People program of the world, they can show each other their cultures,” Bridges said. Though she’s young, Hannah seemingly understands the importance of the trip with People to People. Funding it, however, was not as easy as it may have been for other program participants. “I want to learn about different stuff, new stuff,” she said. “I was really excited when I found out I was going to Washington, D.C. Then my grandma told me about the tuition …” The cost of the trip is an estimated $3,000. Because of Hannah’s age, she needs a chaperone and the entire family is going is support her and take in an opportunity to see parts of the country they’d not otherwise be able to see. Instead of flying, the family will make the 14-hour drive to the East Coast. To help alleviate the costs associated with the trip – such as tuition – Hannah and her grandmother have been selling baked goods and taking donations. “I’ve had a lot of help from grandma and grandpa,” Hannah said. “My brother even gave me two quarters.” The pair has been

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Next month, a Munford fourth grader will embark on the trip of a lifetime and have the chance to meet students from all over the country. Ten-year-old Hannah Burrows, who attends Munford Elementary, will travel to Washington, D.C. this summer to participate in the People to People International program. “I’m going to be a representative of the school and the community and learns lots of different things,” she said. “I want to learn a lot about history and have fun.” The purpose of People to People International is to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures. People to People International is dedicated to enhancing crosscultural communication within each community, and across communities and nations. Tolerance and mutual understanding are central themes. While not a partisan or political institution, PTPI supports the basic values and goals of its founder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Hannah was chosen as a student ambassador after being nominated

Hannah, and the other students from all over the world, will see the Reagan Memorial, have dinner at the embassy and tour other historical landmarks like the Washington Monument, White House, capitol building and more. “She’s going to go where Martin Luther King said, ‘I have a dream,’” said Hannah’s grandmother, Shirley Bridges. “I think this is so awesome. Hannah will learn a part of history she never new about.” Bridges hopes Hannah will have an international roommate. “If she has a roommate from another part

Though she is only 10 years old, Hannah has had to deal with more than her fair share of heartaches. Her mother died last June and she and her nine-year-old brother, Ethan, are being raised by their grandparents. Hannah maintains a straight-A average and plans to be a doctor when she’s older. Math, she said, is her favorite subject. “I like all of the numbers, adding and subtracting them and the way you have to think to do the work.” She’s most excited about staying in a hotel

determined to raise the amount necessary for the trip and plan to be in Washington from June 21-26. They will leave Munford on June 19.

“Hannah will be able to come back and talk about this opportunity with her friends,” said Bridges. “I hope it’s not her last trip.”

The Treasure Hunters make offers on the items by what each collector is willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell they get paid on the spot and the item is sent to the collectors. Gold is especially valuable. Matthew Enright, the Vice President of Media Relations, said has been looking forward to coming to Covington.

WALK Continued from page A1 pregnant the virus could be exposed to the unborn baby where it can cause serious disabling, even fatal, side effects. The brain is particularly the part that is harmed since unborn infants have no immunity. CMV outreach and supporters strongly insist that women do not cause this virus and they are not at fault. Estes is especially one to note this and encourages women and families to come out in support.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone in this community knows someone suffering from CMV, please come out and help,â&#x20AC;? said Estes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women have nothing to be ashamed of, they are innocently carrying the virus. But there can be steps to prevent children born this way.â&#x20AC;? There is a vaccine for CMV currently going through human research and Food and Drug Administration approval, which could take another 10 years. It will work,

as the Human- papillomavirus vaccine works, where women of childbearing age are given a shot to prevent CMV infection. Until then, fundraising efforts like the Walk-N-Rollathon are done to raise money for the cause. This is the second year of this event and 40 people have already confirmed to participate. Everyone is invited to come out and support the cause.

OPINION More than just history The Memorial Day articles for the newspaper had me speaking with several World War II veterans and people who lived during this time. The generation gap had seemed so huge to me in the beginning. I am 24 years old and I was born in 1986. To me, World War II is something just in history books and might as well be as old as the Civil War. After speaking with these men and women who had seen so much over the years I couldn’t help but wonder, were they still as proud as their country as they had once been? Members of the Greatest Generation went to World War II with more pride in their country than perhaps any other. Many of them sacrificed their lives for it and the values that define it. Their children, the Baby Boomers, suffered through the Vietnam War, which unlike World War II had an enemy that was much harder to be seen. Many children ON THE RECORD of men who so proudly sup- TIFFANY CARR HOLLAND ported their country became critics of it, questioning the government’s actions of going to war when there were so many battles to be fought at home. Although they were critics, I still believe they had our country’s best interest at heart. After all, the result of many complaints led to political action. My grandparents are from the generation of World War II and my parents are from the Baby Boomers. They often disagreed politically but they all still loved America. I come from a generation of kids raised in the 1990s, commonly referred to as the “spoiled ones.” Because of the good economy, the majority of middle class people could now afford much more than anyone before them. Most people my age were given cars as teenagers, as well as cell phones, laptops and little league trophies, even if you lost every game. I must admit, it seems as though we have an incessant need to be coddled as well as wear flip flops to work. I had figured that many of these veterans would be quick to criticize people my age. And with all the negative rhetoric about the current state of politics I figured that would be the first to complain about what direction the country was headed. But I could not have been more wrong.

Regardless, if the earth came to an end right then and there, before you departed the “chores” were your responsibility. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the landlords didn’t come to the graveyard and dig you up and tell you right quick, “I don’t know where you think or hope you are going, but you ain’t finished yo’ chores.” We were made to believe the chores were that important. As all Southern farmers remember, the livestock had to be fed and watered even before the family. Why.....the city slickers ask?? That’s how we made our living if we were to have any grub on the table. Simple enough for us country folks. But my chores didn’t even start until after a full day inside the local penitentiary. Many a day and sometimes into the night, I have spent what seemed like an eternity in the corn crib. With the chores staring you square in the face it was downright nerve-wracking for a light pole climber tromping up the blacktop having to go to school each day. The teachers showed no mercy what so ever. It was bad enough to sit in class all day, but we had to “tote” (Southern Rosemark languaguese for ‘carry’) a million books home to study some more. That alone hampered my playing. Sometimes, silently hoping to copy the mystifying Shadow and his slippery perils, I’d try to slip in the bedroom and hide my book satchel under the bed hoping Momma didn’t see it. Maybe she’d think I had finished my lessons in study hall. But No Sirrreee.........one of the ghosts of Rosemark University would descend upon our haven and throw a spell on Momma and the spirits would emerge with, “where’s your homework?” Never failed!! How do Mommas and Daddies know all this stuff?? Neighbor, no matter how hard I tried or what excuse I came up with, none worked. One of the first things I learned and still remember even back when I came out of my Martha White flour sack diapers was to change clothes when you got home from school. Now my Southern ‘pore’ rednecks SEE RAISIN, PAGE A5

Mental illness will impact your life Dear editor, If you don’t think mental illness will impact your life, you’re mistaken. If it doesn’t hit you, it is going to hit someone you love or are close to. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are medical conditions that disrupt a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life. In addition to medication treatment, psychosocial treatment such as a cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, peer support groups and other community services can also be components of a treatment plan and that assist with recovery. Twothirds of all people with mental disorders do not seek treatment. Mental illnesses are treatable. May is National Mental Health month.

Socialism IS anti-God Dear editor, In response to the letter by T. Jones in the May 20, 2010 edition: Socialism IS anti-God. Socialists have changed the definition of “separation of church and state” to try to force God from the public square, thereby creating a void which they intend to fill with government. It has happened in other countries, check history. That seems pretty anti-God to me. Socialism. As far as your getting “tired of hearing the word thrown around”, I suggest you get used to it. The reason is simple - people are very concerned that what is happening in the US IS socialism. The end result of socialist dictatorships is the deaths of millions - Mao, Stalin, Hitler, etc. Mass murder seems to me to be very anti-God. One of Obama’s “czars” has, in the past, expressed his desire for large-scale population control, a tenet of socialistic belief. Another advisor agrees with Mao that power comes largely from the barrel of a gun, and that the free Brian Blackley – Publisher/ General Manager bblackley@covingtonleader.com News Echo Day – Staff Writer eday@covingtonleader.com

market system is a sham. No wonder people are concerned! Mao? Really? The beliefs of the mass-murderer Mao being advised to the president of the United States? The Bible says “Thous shalt not kill,” but it seems that socialists ignore the Bible. Ignoring the Bible, the Word of God, seems yet again to be anti-God. Not adhering to His commandments, or at least trying to adhere to them, or worse openly doing the opposite of what He commands us, is defying His will. Is that not anti-God? Christ asked His followers to sell their possessions, give the money to the poor and follow Him. He did not instruct Caesar to steal the possessions of the populace and redistribute them to whom Caesar saw fit. Redistribution of wealth is another tenet of socialism, and yet defies the teachings of Christ. We are created in God’s image by having the ability to create and free will. Without the latter in choosing to give to charity, it is not, by definition, charity. It is theft by the government. Stealing is against God’s commandments, so, yet again, socialism is anti-God. I fear that if we remain asleep, and do not get “wrapped up in politics,” by the time you decide to become more “wrapped up” in politics it may be too late. Your freedoms will be gone, churches will be under government control (their silence is already being bought and paid for by their tax-exempt status). You may find that your opinions are no longer “correct”, and you may find yourself being sent to a “re-education camp.” Sound silly? Ask the many, many people who have fled to the USA from Soviet bloc countries whose family members, after speaking out against the government, disappeared in the night never to return. These people, and I’ve seen them say this, are very concerned that this is beginning in this country, and they can’t understand why we won’t “wake up.” So, “kudos” to the church for standing up for freedom, against tyranny (which socialism always leads to), and for exercising their free speech rights. We are all called to be good stewards of the gifts bestowed on us by our Creator, and among these gifts is the gift of Liberty. I don’t know about you, but as for me and my family, we will follow the Lord, and we will defend Liberty so we remain free to worship Him as we see fit. Socialism IS anti-God. Check history. H.

LETTERS

Continued from Page A4

Can anyone find a way? After my shopping trip to the Naifeh's store in Covington today I feel compelled to write this letter and see if there is anyone whom can help and exfriend of our all. (We'll just call him Germaine because his name is Germaine) Germaine, the friend to our last dollar, living in the bottom of our grocery budget pocket standing there at the Naifeh's store to collect what we have left after we've bought our food. (apparently this makes sense to Germaine, a convicted felon with more time on his hands than sense in his life). Over the years we have been approached for diaper money for Germaines babies, diaper monies for his sister's babies, his taking up a collection for a party that night, RIMS (that's a real important one for someone whom doesn't own a car), baby food, unmentionables for Germaine's 'ol lady and the ever growing feeling Germaine has that whatever is in our pocket belongs to Germaine unless we give him a reason for us to keep what is ours. I confess at times it has been easier to lie and give Germaine my last 2 bucks that listen to his strong-arm routine over and again coupled with his just another 5 add on tax because he doesn't

believe that was our last 2 bucks YET after the last time I decided enough was enough, Germaine always reassuring us he will pay us back ( some people have Germaine in debt to them for hundreds of dollars over the last 6 years) is an insult and we don't NEED Germaine watching our backs nor do we want Germaine's sort bothering us during our day evening or night travels. I told Germaine I had nothing for him again, no money, no rides, no time to waste listening to his jive and I meant it. If Germaine is an example of the fine job done in rehabilitating criminals Tipton County has done perhaps it's time for a new County Mayor and Sheriff. Isn't there anyone with something for Germaine to do besides riding around in smoke bellowing cars (of course not his car nor his gas), strong arming people for pocket cash, casing out peoples valuables and being a general nuisance ? Quickly ! It's only a matter of time before someone defends themselves from him and humiliates him forevermore, enough IS enough, after all .... he's not "all that". William Alfred St.John Covington

RAISIN'

Continued from Page A4 can relate that we had three sets of clothes. Work clothes, good clothes and Sunday good clothes. The work clothes at one time were.....good clothes....until they got worn thin and patched several times. My good clothes were worn to school, down to Sears on Saturday afternoons or possibly to Millington if we bought some groceries at Mr. E. A. Harrold’s emporium. My ‘Sunday good’ clothes were only worn to church, funerals or school plays. A few times I wondered why I had to change so many times and Momma would explain,” well you don’t want to wear out yo’ good clothes.” “Besides working folks need to wear......work clothes.” I can’t win! As soon as ball practice was over, I’d run home, hoping the chores had disappeared, but as usual the answer was NOPE! My work clothes would be laying by the stove in the kitchen and while I was changing Momma would fix me something to eat. A growing rug rat has got to eat every two hours and since it was about three hours or so before supper I craved a little snack. Sometimes I’d have toasted, brown marshmallows on yellow tinged crackers, right out of the oven. Remember how you’d grab with one hand, swap back and forth trying to lick the gooey cream before it ran down your arm and blow on the morsel trying to cool it before it burned your tender tongue. I’ve always loved crumbled cornbread in my big glass of buttermilk. Especially with the small bits of yellow butter floating to the top. We referred to this delicacy as a......country milkshake. If you got real fancy, chop up some

good, sweet onions and stir them around very slowly, as you don’t dare bruise and hurt them. Now this was a....country malt!! Looking back this was so good it would make you want to slap yo’ second cousin’s Uncle on your Daddy’s side of kin. If there had been a sale on rag baloney, maybe Daddy had bought a whole stick butchered at Fineberg’s packing just like Mr. Ben had in his meat counter at the Rosemark General Store. Most of the time the fancy big round baloney was too expensive, but I loved rag baloney anyway. Hey, ‘pore’ country folks can’t be choosy. One more delicacy was a cathead filled with cured ham, sprinkled with a little sugar around hot melted butter running down your pinkies. Grab, twist, turn, flip and lick quickly before the crust falls off. Now it was time or so Momma said, “to get my clothes on, fly in and finish my chores. Grudgingly, I started to wrap up and face the cruel world. Sometimes I thought I was terribly

mistreated. Having to go to school every day, wear old clothes, and change clothes all the time. Now I’m having to work like crazy at this young age. Boy, it’s going to be bad when I get a little older or maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll get everything done and there won’t be anything left to do in a month or so. Dream on, dream on!! I’ve often wondered how many youngsters have to come home and do their chores as we did back then?? How many get muddy, greasy, cold or sweaty?? What seemed like a torture chamber was the way we were brought up. Now I’m not saying what was right or wrong!! All I know is that is the way all the kids in the community were taught. It was just a way of life. If you didn’t have chores, you were called a ‘sissy’. Beloved, just another day or saga in the life of a Redneck in our Illustrious South!! Southern Bred....... Southern Fed.......and when I die..........I’ll be Southern Graveyard Dead!!!!-------GLORY!!!!!!

My name is July. I am about 1 year old and weigh about 45-50#s I like to rough and tumble a little, but I sure love my tummy scratched. And I will sit quietly at your feet if you want to scratch my head. I love children of all ages and ride very quietly in the car (I sleep). I am July black and white with very attractive markings - if I do say so myself. It is interesting that the black spot on my back has short, wavy hair which makes me all the more attractive. I love people and other dogs. Oh, and did I mention I love children too? My foster Mom is nice, but I know I cannot stay here forever. Would you consider giving me a forever home? I would love you and be your friend forever. I really need someone to love one on one!!

RECORD

Continued from Page A4 Many of the veterans still exemplified everything you would want in a soldier and defender of your country. Their pride in their country remains is unaltered. Even though several did not agree with President Obama on everything many contested that is was amazing to have witnessed the first African American President. Many did not agree with Sara Palin or Hillary Clinton but they were nonetheless respectful of what women in their positions meant. Event though my generation is considered slothful and spoiled by so many sociologists, they were quick to point out the number of men and women

serving in Iraq and the positive traits we carry. I slowly began to realize that many of these men did not just fight against something but they also fought FOR something. They fought for the American right to be free, to have justice. They fought for the rights we have now to disagree with our President. They fought for the meaning behind parents telling their children that they “can be anything they want when they grow up” no matter what race, gender or religion they are. This Memorial Day as we celebrate our veterans, let’s remember the positive things of America as these men did, that have remained and progressed because of the people who fought for us and serve us now.

Retired Teachers to Meet The Tipton County Retired Teachers' Association will meet at Calvary Church on Tuesday, June 1, at 10 a.m. for its final meeting for this school year. Two special events for this meeting will be the memorial service for recently deceased members, with special music included, and the installation for newly elected officers for the next biennium. As previously requested, lunch this time will be Dutch Treat and catered by Naifeh's of Covington. Newly retired teachers will be special guests at this meeting and will be properly welcomed to become a regular part of the group. -Frances Slover, Program Chairman

Hi, my name is Trixie. I was rescued from the Covington City Pound by C.A.R.E. I am a sweet gal between 5-7 years old and the vet thinks I am a cocker-dachshund mix. My fosters say that I am just a sweet doll! I am a loving house dog that totally enjoys being in the same room as you are and I LOVE sitting on your lap. I am a loving girl that enjoys riding in the car too. And OH, I am house-trained! I am up to date on all my shots and I am heart worm free! My owner had passed away and CARE rescued me from the pound then made sure that I got all the vet care that I needed and have been taking really great care of me. My fosters will tell you that they just LOVE me to pieces. I steal peoples hearts and dogs like me don’t come around all the time froma what I hear my fosters telling each other because I am a sweet house-dog that is very well behaved. I need a forever home though and would love to give you kisses and snuggle with you.

Brighton's Lady Cardinals celebrate a 4-2 win over Ravenwood Wednesday afternoon at the TSSAA Division I Class AAA tournament. They will play again at 10 a.m. on Thursday. Photo by Jeﬀ Ireland

Lady Cards, Chargers take on states

Brighton falls in state tourney opener By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinal softball team ran into a tough pitcher Tuesday in the first round of the Class AAA State Tournament in Murfreesboro. Riverdale’s Rachel Albritton struck out eight and allowed just two hits to lead her team past Brighton, 9-1. The loss put Brighton in a do-or-die game on Wednesday against Ravenwood. Brighton (32-11) got on the board in the top of the first. Caroline Jacobs reached on an error, Laura Gentry bunted her to second and Britt Sanford brought Jacobs home with a

double. Brighton, however, had just one more base runner the rest of the game. It came on a two-out single by Gentry in the third. Riverdale (55-6-1), the defending state champs, scored three times in the second and fifth innings, once in the fourth and twice in the sixth. Leanna Coulston struck out two, walked six and allowed seven hits. Six Brighton errors were a factor as well. The game got away from Brighton in the fifth inning. Riverdale had just one hit in the frame but scored three times thanks to a pair of Brighton errors.

Cousar leads Lady Chargers to tourney win By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Lady Chargers showed no signs of slowing down on Tuesday in the Class AA State Tournament opener in Murfreesboro. Senior pitcher Sarah Cousar was lights out as usual as Covington ran its gaudy record to 45-1 with a 2-0 win over Chattanooga Central. The win set up a game with Gibbs last night. Cousar sparkled, striking out six, walking none and allowing just three hits over six innings. Only one runner advanced past second base. Covington got on the board in the third innings. C. J. Browder reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and third with two outs and scored on a passed ball. In the fourth inning Gabby Glenn singled and was brought home by a sacrifice fly Jamie Hollingsworth. Autumn Glenn and Hollingsworth each had a hit for Covington.

Lady Cardinals find way back to state By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com A couple of weeks ago, following a surprising first round loss in the district tournament, the prospect of the Brighton Lady Cardinal softball team qualifying for the state tournament was not looking great. Following Friday’s 5-0 win at home over Houston in the sectionals, that loss seemed like a distant memory. Brighton got another strong pitching performance from Leanna Coulston and several key hits to win relatively easily and qualify for the Class AAA State Tournament for the second straight season. “It feels great,” said Brighton coach Robin Jacobs. “These girls worked so hard. Some people thought we wouldn’t even make it out of the district.” Last year Brighton beat Collierville 2-1 to make it to state. This time around there wasn’t a whole lot of drama. Caroline Jacobs lead off the first with a triple and scored on a Lauren Gentry single. In the third Jacobs singled and scored on a passed ball before Britt Sanford hit a two-run homer off the scoreboard in left field to give the Lady Cardinals a 4-0 lead. Singles by Coulston, Gentry and Megan McDivitt led to a fifth run in the in the fourth inning and Coulston took care of the rest with strong pitching. She struck out 14 and scattered six hits in a completegame effort. Two years ago Brighton lost to Houston 11-1 in the sectionals. “We clipped the article out of the paper,” said Coulston. “We’re glad we got a chance for revenge.” Sanford wasn’t sure if her homerun, which bounced back into the field of play, was actually a homerun. “I’d been in a slump lately,” Sanford said. “I was just glad it counted.” “We had faith in her the whole time,” added Coulston. Brighton (32-10) has now been to the sectionals

three out of the past four seasons. “We had a lot of people step up,” said Jacobs. “Caroline was 14-18 in the postseason and Leanna has been great. We’ve played 42 games and Leanna has pitched 40 of them. She has willed us to win … I’m proud of this team. Hopefully this is something they will take with them forever.”

Randolph Tula Starr RUMC will be having a SPRING FEST on Sunday, June 13, at 5 p.m., lots of food, lots of fun, cool music and cool games. Everyone is invited...bring finger food. I hope MS Juanita Joyner and her line dance girls will be able to be with us. Homebound focus: Dorothy Cook, Barney Mills mother. Mrs. Cook lives at Covington Care Center. One of my favorite in the Commercial Appeal is things that happened 25, 50, 75 100, and 125 years ago. On April 10, 2010 the following caught my attention: 75 years ago, in 1935 Gasoline prices were increased two and a half cents a gallon by the major companies in Memphis. Regular gasoline is now selling at these stations for 20.5 cents a gallon but some of the independents are selling it for 17 cents a gallon. The other week we had a visitor, Mr. Robert Feirn, came by our home. He gave us the following article. It does not say who wrote it or what newspaper it was in..... we thought it was good. Thanks to Mr. Robert. Comments made in the year 1955. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 52 years ago! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20. Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long before $2,000 will only buy a used one. If cigarettes keep going up in price, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous. Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime

just to mail a letter. If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00 nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store. When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be better off leaving the car in the garage. Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to send my kids to the movies anymore. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in Gone with the wind, it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it. I read the other day where some scientist thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas. Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me if someday theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making more than the president......... I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see the day all our kitchen appliance would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work. Marriage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean a thing anymore, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid the Volkswagen car is gong to open the door to a whole

lot of foreign business. Thank goodness I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live to see the day when the government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress. The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on. There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend, it cost nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel. No one can afford to be sick anymore at $35 a day in the hospital, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too rich for my blood. If they think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay 50 cents for a haircut, forget it. Share this with friends and family. Report on the Old Woman and Old Man: We had a wonderful weekend this past week. Four of our family members came all the way from Royston, Georgia to visit us. One of our nephews had never been to any of our homes. Everyone accuses us of moving at the drop of a hat. We lived in Frayser for 30 years, then out in Shelby Forest 13 years, then we moved to Randolph for 7 years, and now we live in Burlison, two years this coming July. We took 10 of our family members to Saturday Lunch down at Tunica to Paula Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buffet. It was just wonderful....they even gave us a private room. Our relatives were quite impressed with such a bountiful buffet. My favorite was the fried green tomatoes. I am looking forward to going to Buchanan, Georgia to my 60th high school reunion in June. The old man went to his reunion last October down in Royston, Georgia. Love & Prayers

Bloom where you are plantedâ&#x20AC;Ś when a flower is taken from its natural growing area to a structured flower bed it does not thrive. I just assumed that it was my bad luck when this happened to me but the writer explains that the natural environment (the dirt!) in the forest is most likely much different from that in your yard. Well, duh! The forest floor has more natural ingredients that the wildflowers need and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that there is any evidence of the presence of Round-Up or Miracle-Groâ&#x20AC;Ś and no Bermuda grass to choke them out! So I conclude from this information that it is reasonable to assume that we need to leave these beautiful gifts of nature to bloom where they grow naturally. This made me think as well that as retirees we need to bloom where we are planted! Even though we experience less structure we can still â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fertilizeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; our lives. We can volunteer, take classes, get fit, spend more time with friends and family and any number of other activities. Retirement is rather glamorized in modern publications as times

By MARGARET FLEMING Special to The Leader For Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, my daughter-in-law, Molly, gave me a new book. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a paperback by Eleanor Perenyi about flowers and other plants. The title is Green Thoughts, A Writer in the Garden and includes many, many short essays on every flower you can think of plus fences, mulch and weeds. Of course the first essay I read was on wildflowers. Wildflowers were, of course, the beginning of personal flower gardens. People, usually women, would find a flower blooming in the wild and would dig it up and re-plant it in their flower beds. For many years it was common for folks to dig up flowers from any forest available to beautify their yards. With the creation of nature preserves and regulated state parks, the practice of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stealingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wildflowers is now mostly illegal. Many, many common wildflowers have been placed on the endangered list and are considered protected flora. I was reminded in the essay that many times

of foreign travel and other costly hobbies. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be like that. We find that the everyday small successes bring just as much joy and satisfaction as those big projects we completed in our work lives. That is why you will most likely find me in the backyard digging, weeding, watering, and picking up sticks. Yes, I am doing all I can to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bloom right here where I am planted!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Come by and visit with me! I will show you the beginnings of my new shade garden. Since it is no longer acceptable to get wildflowers and such from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, I have been forced to seek new sources. Lo and behold! There is the perfect place right here in Covington to get starter plants of most any wildflower I can think of and many I have never seen or heard about. That place would be Mrs. Velma Peelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful backyard. I have already been there to get some Wild Ginger, Japanese Painted Ferns, Strawberry Begonias, and Hellebores. So far they are doing well. Additionally, I moved a few Hostas into this same area. It is beginning to look pretty good

but I would really like to add some pine straw (if I could find any at this time of the year). I would say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Mrs. Peeler but my Mother, and her mother, always told me that if you tell someone thank you for a gift of flowers to be planted, that those flowers will not thrive. Trust me! I need all the help I can get but I do truly appreciate Velmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to mentor a new gardener. I guess I could say that I am quite content blooming right here in Covington. My days are fertilized with walks with my husband, visits from friends, and time spent with children and grandchildren. I encourage you to look around for all the natural â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fertilizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around you that is just ready to enrich your life. You will be surprised how easy it is to bloom and flourish right where you are planted!

Q A

What could be causing my constipation and what can I do to treat it?

Constipation can either be defined as infrequent stools or difficulty in passing stools or hard-pellet stools. Usually less than three bowel movements per week is considered abnormal. It is usually caused by: a “lazy colon”, spastic colon, mechanical obstruction to the bowel or a tumor in the colon. Other conditions that can cause constipation include: pregnancy, medications, anal fissure, thyroid disease and travel. A Barium x-ray or a Flexible sigmoidoscopy (using a lighted instrument) are two common tests used to diagnose the reason for the constipation. Other less common tests used include a marker test with x-rays and anal manometry to measure the pressure in the rectum an anal sphincter. If the constipation is functional it usually responds to simple measures such as: adding fiber to the diet (either in the diet or with supplemental bulking agents), drinking more water and exercise. Diets rich in fiber include: Bran cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads. Bulking agents such as Metamucil Citrucel or Fibercon add fiber to our diet and helps the stool get bulkier, softer and therefore easier to pass.

“Patriot Bank would like to say thank you to the South Tipton Chamber for the opportunity to sponsor the Students of the Month program for the 2009-2010 school year. It is a great pleasure to listen to the accomplishments of these outstanding students each month and to meet them and their families. So often we hear about young people who have taken the wrong turn in life and are a detriment to our society. But every month we are reminded that there are so many more young people who are doing the right thing. Our Students of the Months are examples of this effort. It’s inspiring to know this group of students, who are setting a good example and serving as role models for their peers. We thank the parents of these students for the role models they have been for their children and the good job they have done raising responsible young adults. We also would like to mention that we are blessed to have three excellent schools in the South Tipton area and we thank the principals and the teachers at each of our schools for your hard work and dedication. It is because of you that our children have the learn-

ing environment they need to prepare for the future. Thanks also to the Patriot Bank employees who play a major role in the Students of the Month program - Jan Phillips and Ann Hart from South Tipton sponsor the Munford High Student of the Month; Nora O’Hara from South Tipton Mortgage sponsors the Brighton High Student of the Month; Denna Krosp from Barretville sponsors the Tipton Rosemark Academy Student of the Month. Patriot Bank congratulates each Student of the Month and the Students of the Year for your accomplishments and we encourage you to continue the path you have chosen - to set the bar high, excel at your studies and continue to contribute your talent and energy to serve your communities. Thank you again from all of us at Patriot Bank. We look forward to sponsoring the Students of the Month program for the 2010-2011 school year.”

MEMORIAL DAY

TRIBUTE A SPECIAL TO THE LEADER

INSIDE A QUEST TO BRING UNCLE JOHNNY HOME TRIBUTES TO THE COUNTY'S SERVICEMEMBERS MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM

A quest to bring Uncle Johnny home His plane was shot down in the Burmese jungle in 1943 and now, nearly 67 years later, his family hopes to bring his remains home By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

n a plot of land near the small village of Birmani Kami in India lies an unmarked field of ginger. Untouched for many years by anything other than the morning dew that settles in before the sun rises, the ginger field rests far away from any bustle of tourists or sightseers and is known to just mostly local people. Kept away in its private crevice of the world and protected only by a fence of bamboo and leaves, this field also serves as a burial ground for as many as 50 American soldiers. One of the soldiers presumably resting in this spot is Covington native John Calvin Kelley. One of the many victims of World War II, his parents would go on to bury an empty coffin. The love of his life would go on to marry another. His brothers and sisters would grow old without him, existing only in their memory. For 63 years, no one knew where his remains were kept. However, after a recent expedition of a wreckage explorer, several interested family members who searched tirelessly and a lot of divine intervention, his location has been found. Before World War II began, John Kelley grew up on his family’s farm in Garland. He was born in 1917, the ninth of eleven children to Albert Alonzo and Laura Ellen Kelley. The people alive today who knew him describe him as having relentless wit, extraordinary charm and a captivating smile. Outgoing and athletic, Kelley excelled at sports. He was a running back on the Byars Hall (now Covington High School) football team and led them to the state tournament in 1938. He had the nickname “racehorse” from his friends all through school due to his running strength and long legs. Kelley went on to college at The University of Tennessee Junior College in Martin on a football scholarship. He played halfback and was the leading scorer on his team in his sophomore season. After he graduated from college, like so many young men of his generation, he enlisted in the military to fight with the allied forces in one of the worst wars in world history. Kelly joined the Army and became a bombardier soldier who flew in B-24 planes. While he was said to have many girlfriends, everyone concedes that his main squeeze and most serious love was his high school sweetheart Martha McDow. Kelly and McDow would write letters to each other while he was away in the war. He sent her several items on his journeys including his bombardier wings that she reportedly wore daily and is seen in several pictures pinned to her chest. On his last visit home, he told several people he planned on asking her to marry him when he returned from the war. He sent dozens of letters home to

his family, many of which are still kept in a binder describing his adventures overseas. One man who met Kelley remembers that after surviving a plane crash in Italy, he packed up his parachute in a briefcase and pretended to be a salesman to avoid being captured. His morale declined after his original crew in Burma was shot down and killed, which Kelley narrowly avoided. He was sick the day they went out on their last flight. However, he reportedly bonded with his new crew quickly. First Lieutenant Kelley was assigned to the 493rd bomb squadron that was piloted by Major Wesley Werner. On Nov. 14, 1943, John Kelley climbed into the bombardier compartment of a B-24 headed out of Pandaveswar, India, bound on a mission to bomb a target in central Burma. It was after the bombs were dropped and the planes were headed back to their base when a large number of Japanese fighter planes attacked them. The B-24 planes called for help that never came. After hours of battling in the skies, Kelley’s plane crashed in the Burmese jungle. Of the ten man crew, eight survived the crash, but all suffered serious injuries. Kelley was one of the less severely burned and along with his commanding officer, Werner, who sustained head injuries, went to the wreckage to help out his fallen comrades. The crew was later discovered by Japanese officials who sent the men to the Rangoon Central Jail, a former civilian British prison in the center of Rangoon, Burma. It was here that the injured airmen were placed in solitary confinement. They were given no clothes, no beds, little food and very little medical care. Several of the fellow prisoners cared for the men including John Boyd. Boyd was with Kelley when he died and would later include Kelley in a book he co-authored. Kelly was the last of his crew to survive in the jail. He managed to trudge on with his injuries, helping his fellow soldiers, until eventually starvation and infection from his burns set in, since there were no antibiotics given to him. Boyd said that in his last few hours, Kelley was confused and saw things that were not really there, all signs of an infection. It was there in this dank, dark cell, thousands of miles away from his home in Garland, Tennessee, that John Kelley breathed his last breath. He was 26 years old. His fellow prisoners of war made a secret map of where they buried the bodies. When the men were liberated, this map was given to the American Graves Registration Service. In 1946, a recovery team was sent to retrieve the soldier’s bodies from this site and bring them back to the states. However, the plane never made it back. It was assumed it had crashed but no one knew for sure. That is, until recently. American Clayton Kuhles is a businessman who explores Southeast Asia for wreckage sites, combining his love of travel and World War II history. On Nov. 5, 2009 he discovered the remains of the C-47 plane sent to retrieve the bodies near the town of Birmani

Kami in India. The local villagers shared the oral story of the plane that they had found when it was still burning. The many bodies inside of it were buried in an impromptu cemetery, now covered in ginger. Every year the native people hold a memorial service for the soldiers even though they are unknown to them. Several members of John Kelley’s family have recently tried to find out what happened to their long, lost relative and they were led to Kuhles for their answers. At the Kelley family reunion, held in Burlison in 2007, two of John’s nieces, Leslie Roane and Susan Krall were taken aback by John Kelley’s handsome looks and the little information that other fam-

ily members had on him. Kelley’s niece, Theta Roane, had previously dug up letters he had written and historical information to find what had happened to his body, but not much could be found. Two years after the reunion, after searching through dozens of archives and contacting people all over the country, the two women found the answer they were seeking. During this process they attempted to contact his former girlfriend Martha McDow, who never knew what happened to him, only to find out she had passed away in February 2009. However, Leslie Roane was able to meet her children who said that their mother had talked of Kelley several times and she had passed SEE HOME, PAGE B2

A poem worth reading He was getting old and paunchy And his hair was falling fast, And he sat around the Legion, Telling stories of the past.

Papers tell of their life stories From the time that they were young But the passing of a Soldier Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Of a war that he once fought in And the deeds that he had done, In his exploits with his buddies; They were heroes, every one.

Is the greatest contribution To the welfare of our land, Some jerk who breaks his promise And cons his fellow man?

And ‘tho sometimes to his neighbors His tales became a joke, All his buddies listened quietly For they knew where of he spoke.

Or the ordinary fellow Who in times of war and strife, Goes off to serve his country And offers up his life?

But we’ll hear his tales no longer, For ol’ Bob has passed away, And the world’s a little poorer For a Soldier died today. He won’t be mourned by many, Just his children and his wife. For he lived an ordinary, Very quiet sort of life.

CDR Scott Fields, U.S. Navy Retired In the Panama Canal, 1988

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. - General George Patton Jr.

HOME

Continued from Page B1 on to her daughters several of the items he had given her, including his bombardier wings. One of McDow’s daughters gave Roane a box with Kelley’s wings and other items, knowing she would keep them in a safe place. Roane and several other of Kelley’s relatives are currently campaigning to their senators and congressmen of this situation in hopes to bring Kelley and the rest of the soldiers in the ginger field back to America. “This is not just a recovery effort of one local hero. This must be a nationwide effort to bring these men home,” said Roane. “These men paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.” Today, John Kelley’s tombstone rests at the Shiloh Cemetery in Garland alongside his parents and brothers and sisters. An American flag can be seen blowing in the wind on his grave, serving as a reminder that he, as so many other young men, died in honor of their country. His sister, Jeanette Graham Seaton of

Marion, Ark. is his only living sibling, yet he has dozens of nieces and nephews who all grew up hearing stories of “Uncle Johnny” and his golden smile. Kelley was profiled in an article for Reader’s Digest and has been mentioned in several historical books. While he is gone, his memory and all he did for his country still exists in the lives of many today. The plane has been found, but the quest to have his remains sent home is ongoing. Kelley’s name is engraved on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. The entrance to this reads, “Here are the recorded names of Americans who gave their lives in the service of their country and who sleep in unknown graves.” Kelley’s niece, Susan Krall of Avon, Ohio, credits this quote and the picture of John on her desk with giving her the strength and motivation to never stop searching for him and bringing him home, which is something, as many of his acquaintances would contend, that John Kelley would have done for anyone.

He held a job and raised a family, Going quietly on his way; And the world won’t note his passing, ‘Tho a soldier died today. When politicians leave this earth, Their bodies lie in state, While thousands note their passing, And proclaim that they were great.

The politician’s stipend And the style in which he lives, Are often disproportionate, To the service that he gives. While the ordinary Soldier, Who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal And perhaps a pension, small. It is not the politicians With their compromise and ploys, Who won for us the freedom That our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger, With your enemies at hand, Would you really want some cop-out, With his ever-waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier-His home, his country, his kin, Just a common Soldier, Who would fight until the end. He was just a common Soldier, And his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us We may need his like again. For when countries are in conflict, We find the Soldier’s part Is to clean up all the troubles That the politicians start. If we cannot do him honor While he’s here to hear the praise, Then at least let’s give him homage At the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline In a paper that might say: “OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, A SOLDIER DIED TODAY.”

Munford students raise money for cancer By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

On Thursday, May 20, several teachers gathered in the hall of Munford Elementary School wearing hot pink t-shirts and proudly presented a check to a representative to the American Cancer Society. It was raised through the Relay for Life charity program that was conducted by several faculty members and all the students of the school. Almost $2,600 was raised entirely through donations collected by the students from each grade at MES. The school had faculty and staff form a committee of twelve members to organize a Relay for Life program. Every year, a the school takes part in a charity and this year it was Relay for Life, which was organized by chairperson and kindergarten teacher Joy Wright, who understood that great numbers of students at the school and people in the community had relatives affected by cancer at some point such as fourth grader Austin Holifield who said, “My great grandfather died from cancer, so I wanted to do the Relay for Life to help find a cure.” Relay for Life is the main volunteer-run fundraising event that is for the American Cancer Society. It is estimated that these events have raised over three billion dollars. The money raised goes to fund areas such as research grants and programs, prevention programs, community and patient support and detection and treatment programs, according to their website. At MES students collected donations from the community. Children were also allowed to purchase ribbons. Each grade was given a color and that color represents a cancer. PreK was gray for brain cancer, kindergarten was

red for lymphoma, the first grad was green for kidney and renal cancer, the second grade was yellow for childhood cancers, the third was purple for cancer survivors, the fourth grade was pink for breast cancer and the fifth grade was orange for leukemia. During a designated hour for their gym class, the students wore their colors and walked and danced in support. While the fourth grade was walking, Kenya Allison, from Mrs. Gretke’s class said,” Isn’t it funny how we are walking for cancer and my mom is having her cancer surgery today,” which showed many how much this event hit close to home. Fast-food business McDonalds donated drinks for the students at this time. The first grade raised the most money by bringing in $673. Many of the teachers were glad they had taken part in this particular event and several students recalled what they had learned from the

experience. “Fourth grade supported Breast Cancer. We did a lot of research on this cancer in our classroom,” said student Gracie Poirier and I was surprised at the number of women that have this type of cancer. It took a lot of hard work to raise money, but we did it!!” Wright would like to thank all the people who donated to the Relay for Life. “We could not have done this without the support of the people in the community and it is going to a great cause,” she said. “I just hope that all these endeavors can get closer to finding a cure to many of these cancers.” The American Cancer Society of Tipton County accepted the check and continues to work with the national organization, through many community-led events like this one, to raise money for a cure.

Danny Howard, Cole’s grandfather told me that he gives Cole a dollar for every home run that he hits, so Danny owes Cole some money. Cole pitched for the entire game. I was asked to include that Robin Cothran Booth is battling cancer again. Please keep her on your prayer list. There will be a singing held at New Salem Church on Munford Gilt Edge Road on Sunday, May 30 at 2 pm. This singing will be in honor of veterans. Mr. John Sharp will be leading the congregation in patriotic songs. We should all take a moment to reflect and give thanks for our veterans and service personnel that are currently serving our country.

Mabel Smith • 837-8017 Dear Readers, I am writing this from Munford but it still is the Atoka News. I went to Poplar Grove U. M. Church on Saturday to attend the Luncheon and Style show put on by Jean Rhodes Cole. The food was delicious, and the tables were decorated beautifully. The styles went back from 1970 into the 1860s. It was a very nice day, and I saw many folks I knew. My brother-in-law, Fred Harold Smith, Jr., died last Friday after a long bout with cancer. He farmed on Island 35 but lived in Osceola, Arkansas, where he will be buried. Since Rev. Joe Piercy, Jr. left the Atoka U.M. Church on the first of May, we have had guest speakers. The first speaker was Tim Forbess. Sam Pace spoke while I was gone, and, on Sunday, John Lloyd brought the

message. Next Sunday we will have singing and a pot-luck dinner at noon after the singing. Now, onto the Prayer List. I was in bed the other night when a lady called and asked me to put Robin Belk on my prayer list. She said that she is the daughter of Tommy and Nelly Belk. And there are numbers of others: Mavis Lumpkin, Rodney Waits, Brice Fite, Jewel Forbess, Carolyn Max, Pat Lloyd, Williams Mashburn, David Mashburn, Gerald Fitzwater, Mike Schaefer, Trent Joyner, Martha Hutson, Teresa Call,

Eddie Kellum • 476-2683 Hello one more time from Burlison. This week I would like to start by offering my sincerest apologies to Mr. Frank Tyler and his church. While reporting on the fundraiser for Teresa Connell and family held at the Burlison Community Center on May 16, I incorrectly reported the name of Mr. Tyler’s church. Mr. Tyler attends Garland United Methodist Church. Thanks to Mr. Tyler and his church for their support for the fundraiser. Boy what a busy weekend and Monday we have had. We started Friday night by attending the fundraiser, again for the Connell family that was held at The Historic Ruffin Theater this past Friday night. I lost count of how many performers there were, but let me tell you they were all talented. About half way through the performances, Paula asked the question “Why are these people not already recording music”. We had a wonderful time of singing, fun and fellowship. A special thanks to Jeff Yarbrough, Emcee for the event and to all the performers. The fundraiser was a huge suc-

What an inspirational speaker he was. For anyone who attended, including my family, I think it will be a long while before we forget the words “Keep on asking! Keep on seeking! Keep on knocking!” Of course on Monday night, we attended Covington High School’s Class of 2010 graduation. All in all, there was way more than 2 million dollars received in awards and scholarships by the graduating seniors. Wow, what a group!

Almyra Libby Click Congratulations to all you seniors, class of 2010! Hope all your future plans will be very successful. Don't get discouraged if things don't go your way right away. You're young and ideas may change throughout this life. Many of you will be voting for the first time this fall. Above all, take your voting seriously please. Don't just take a friend's word. You are responsible for your decisions. It will pay in the long run if you do your homework and know our candidates platforms (i.e., what they believe in and stand for). It is your future at stake. I have heard Bill Haslam speak twice. He has a wonderful turn-out at the Olympic last week. I am personally sold on his ideas for our state government, as he is running for governor of the state of Tennessee with conservative and Christian principles. We have many good men running for this race. Over this past weekend, Charlie and I went to Centerville to visit our daughter Terri Barber and family. While there, we attended my grand-daughter, Whitney's, boyfriend, Nathan Carroll's graduation. He was very happy that we came. My grandson Dalton made the middle school basketball team for next school term. We are all so excited for him. Also, Whitney made the cheerleading team for her senior year this fall. While traveling in that area, we saw the results of all the devastation they received from the storm damage and flood. Many are still homeless. Man, what a rain we had

Jamestown DarSay Burton • 476-1414

Greetings, After my doctor's visit on Tuesday of last week, I got both good and bad news. I do not have kidney stones, thank you Lord for that, but I do have Type II Diabetes. It can be fully controlled by staying on a healthy diet with moderate exercises, such as brief walking for about thirty minutes per day. I can do this with no problem! I've already lost about eighteen pounds, and I feel and look so much better. I can once again wear my “skinny” jeans! You go, girl! I now know exactly why I've been feeling so badly. With all I've been through, these little things are only “tests” sent by God to ensure that I'm always “in the know” about who He is, and what He can do. This past weekend was a busy one. My beautiful niece, Erica Merritt, now of Covington, and the youngest daughter of my sister, Annette Burton of Jamestown, graduated Saturday at 6 p.m. From Union University in Jackson. Erica received her Masters of Art in Education. Erica threw a lovely barbecue with all of the fixings Sunday evening at her lovely home after church. Both she and her fiance, Antwan Sherfield, also of Covington, pulled out all the stops. It was great. Special guests were her mother, Annette Burton, her sister and brother-in-law, Jacinta and John Jones Sr. and their two sons, Tyler and Lil' J!

Monday afternoon! I was quite frightened by it myself. I had to turn my notes in Tuesday morning, but we have heard that there is supposed to be more all week. Charlie was at least able to get part of the yard cut before it started Monday. If you're a gardener, I hope it has helped. I'm sure it's not good for continuing heavy rain. We need some drying soon. Everybody's yards are really getting high. I have never seen so much poison ivy and poison oak. It's everywhere you look. I'm allergic to it, so I'm sure I'll be using extra Round-Up when it dries up. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister.

Before getting over to Erica's and Antwan's barbecue, my sister Joann Bell and I paid a short, but nice, visit to our uncle and aunts in Covington, Rudolph and Tallie Boykins, her lovely mother, Willie Hollands who now lives with them and is doing wonderful after a brief illness. “Mama Willie,” as she's fondly called, is receiving lots of T.L.C. From her family. Her youngest daughter, Nancy, is down helping out now for a few weeks. I believe Nancy live in, or near, Chicago. However, she and all of Mama Willie's family have been and still are making sure that Mama Willie is getting only the best care. And I am, in no way, leaving out her two other around-the-clock helpers, Marsha and John Burton, two of Mama Willie's many, many grandchildren who love her very much. Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Terrance “T” Sherrill of Jamestown. “T'”s lovely bride-to-be is none other than Tammica Terry, granddaughter of Katarene Harber and the late, James Harber Sr. of Jamestown. The big day for the happy couple is July 3 at 2 p.m. At their church Bright Hill, M.B. Jamestown with Pastor,

Ann Morris is still quilting and hemming at Mrs. Ashford‘s in Covington. She has quilted on a lot of them when she was at the Brighton Center. Brenda Overbey, Bobbie Glass, Melisse and Katy Glass, Ray-Ray Overbey, Larry Wayne, and Lawanda Overbey took Kathryn Glass out to eat on Mother‘s Day.

Those attending from Tipton County are Elbert and Judy Starnes and Brent and Lawanda Smith and family. Her grandmother Merideth made the clothes that she was dedicated in just as she had when the other grandchildren were dedicated. Beverly Tracy is a sixth-grade teacher at Munford Middle School.

Mt. Carmel/Clopton Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It's a sunny humid Tuesday morning. We got enough rain late yesterday morning to get out of the field and go to town for lunch, then we checked the field and went back to work. We didn't get the big rain, heavy winds and hail that other parts of the county got. More of the same forecasted today as the high reaches 90 again.

Dunlap Kathy Keiter Hello everyone! Hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all had a wonderful week and have felt the presence of the Lord though out your day! We surely have here at Dunlap retirement Center! God has just been so good to us, He always is, He always has been and He always will be, as long as we seek Him and follow His will as best we know how. One real matter of prayer this week is the fact that one of our staff members lost everything she had in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;May Dayâ&#x20AC;? flood. We are trying to get together items that she needs and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be having a shower for her a shower on Saturday, June 26th, in the fellowship hall from 2-4pm. If you are interested in coming or would like to get her something, please call me at 476-7014 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you some ideas and more details. I will be emailing everyone that has shown an interest in wanting to do something for her to let you know what her needs are. At this point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early for her to know for sure what she needs, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting until the end of June. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you all posted! I failed to mention four of my staff members birthday, for the month of May, so â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;? Lureatha Harris, Jeanie Jones, Ms. Betty Lovett and Mamie Brasfield!!! We love every one of you and hope your day â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;has beenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;will beâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; very special!! We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any resident birthdays this month, but we do next month! I think I had put in my notes a couple weeks ago that our yard sale was going to be the last of July, but that has been changed! The date of the yard sale will be Aug. 6-7. If you have something

you would like to donate, please bring it on over and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll store it until then. We need more donations this year because last year we gave a couple different churches a lot of stuff that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had now for several years that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting from scratch. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it. You know what they say â&#x20AC;&#x153;one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junk is another manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasureâ&#x20AC;?. We have a couple possibilities that may be coming our way to join us here at Dunlap. So we are so excited. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always wanting new folks coming, it keeps us refreshed! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saving that room for you or for your Mom and Dad! We have one apartment left as well. The rooms in retirement are just that, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do anything but â&#x20AC;&#x153;be retiredâ&#x20AC;?. Your meals are cooked for you, your rooms are cleaned, your laundry is done for you, so that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave much for you to do except maybe visit with others and play Bingo, or take a walk around our beautiful green

campus. We have one man that walks it four or five times a day! He loves it! Every time I look outside heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walking again. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to settle in a wonderful retirement community, please check us out. Just give me a call at 476-7014; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to visit with you! I would like to say thank you to Dr. Wayne Conley, DDS, for fixing Ms. Jean Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tooth when she fell on the sidewalk the day of our fundraiser and broke it off!! Thanks Dr. Conley, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a special person for doing that!! I would also like to say thanks to the Holly Grove Church KFC kids that came and helped us clean up around here. I took this picture of them all hanging on to the golf cart that day. They had a blast!!! Until next week, please show somebody how important they are to you! You might even give the people you love a big hug and have a great week and God bless you!

Corn is really growing fast and looks good. Friday night Clint had rehearsal and supper for Nick Bryan and Diana Maddox's wedding the following day. We attended the wedding on Saturday and it was just beautiful. Rev. Johnny James officiated and Shelly Arnett was pianist. Lindsay Bowman read a sweet piece during the ceremony. Diana's sister, Holly, was her bridesmaid and her sister, Natalie, was the shy flower girl who just wanted her Mommy to hold her, which happens many times! They wore pretty blue dresses. Diana's dad, Mark Maddox, gave her away. Nick's brothers, Brad and Chris, were his groomsen. Clint Watkins and Brett "Petie" Turner were ushers. After the late afternoon wedding we went into the church's fairly-new fellowship building where the only lighting were candles floating in goblets of pale blue water and the waning sunshine. Bottles of sparkling grape juice were on the tables for toasts and we feasted on brisket, cooked by the bride's father, green beans, au gratin potatoes, slaw, rolls and wedding cake. It was a very relaxed and joyous occasion. Vases of satin roses holding birdseed were offered with notes from the parents, Mark and Sandra Maddox and Keith and Debbie Bryan. Boxes of goodies tied with blue ribbon contained a note from the newlyweds. After many pictures were taken, the couple ran through a shower of thistle seed to their red truck, filled to the gills with balloons when they opened the doors. They are now on their honeymoon in Arknasas and I wish for them many happy years together! Congratulations to our seniors at the Covington Church of Christ, Rachel Nance, Corey Pinner, Jessie Shoemaker and Gordon Cartwright! And all the other graduates in our county! Bonnie Holbrook is out of the hospital and in rehab in Covington now. Rhonda Standridge, Eric and Shirley Jones, and Hazel Mooneyham are on our prayer list, as well as so many others and our servicemen and women. Congratulations to Jill Matlock on receiving a

Master's Degree in Education from Trevecca Nazarene University, to Caileigh Cook on receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Freed-Hardeman University, and to Tim Gatlin on his gradation from EMTIV school at Dyersburg State! Way to go,y'all! Speaking of Caileigh Cook, I'm looking forward to her and Mitch Irwin's wedding on June 5th at the Memphis Zoo! Happy Birthday this week goes to Larry Whaley on May 24, to Angie Gatlin and John Combs on the 25, to Christina Evins and Renea Brown on the 27 and to LaDonna Nance and Karla Combs on the 29! Happy Anniversary to Marc and Sonyia Rimmer on May 23! Sympathy is extended to Dale Laxton on the death of his cousin, Denville Hutchison, and to Shirley Laxton in the death of her cousin, Johnny Cranford. Those families have my prayers at this time. This week's CK (Chicken Kitty) Report: CK is all alone now, except for an

www.covingtonleader.com occasional visiting male cat, leading us finally to the assumption that CK is a female! Well, Friday James asked me why my cat was blue. Blue??? I looked at her sitting on the deck rail and she was a pale Easter-egg sort of aqua! We don't know if she swam in something (very unlikely) or walked through some fertilized grass or what, but she is an aqua cat, all but her head. Very pretty, actually! "Thanks for Reading" this week goes to Rosemary McCane and Bob Whitworth! Salute! Speaking of "sa-lute", Elizabeth was the "Leader Fan of the Day" on Facebook last week and they mentioned that she was my daughter and save her a "sa-lute"! I thought that was very funny! This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "There are about 450 feet of wool yarn in a baseball"! Who knew?! School's getting out, graduation ceremonies going on - June is next Tuesday. This year is going by very quickly! Until next week . .. Elaine
